THE CRANKs OF ECOxonY

Economy is a thing everlastingly
being preached in the MANAGEMENT
Of public affairs; yet there is only
one time when economy ought to
practiced, and that is when it be-
becomes an absolute necessity, and
there is no other course open.
The United States is Just now
suffering from the vagaries of the
narrow-minded economic cranks,
who are now posing before the
country "a the watch dogs of the
Treasury. The Democratic party
is trying hard to save all it can, and
the saving is effected by cripnl'ng
every possible branch Of the pub
tic service, Oy cutting down the
wages of mechanics aud by making
every man in the service do the
work of two.
The people of the United States
do not want any such economic
nonsense as this, nor will they toll
crate 1T. either.
The vast sums of money accumu-
lated in the public Treasury are
E,aced there by the people, and 1t
belongs to them now. They ex-
pect 10 return for the payment OF
these taxes, an army to protect the
Western border from the invaders,
a Government capable of protecting
the rights of citizens, aud navy
capable Of shielding our sea board
from the invasion of foreign foes.
The money placed at the disposal
of Congress has not been used for
any such purpose. In fact, it is
hard to ascertain what the devil it
is being used for.
If any European country we're to
conclude to sail across the Atlantic
aud destroy New York it would
only take it about two days to level
the city. OF course. it.would not
be done. The foreign feet would
simply sail up to the city and de-
mand a ransom of several hum
dred millions to let it alone, and
the United States Government
would have to raise the money,
Would it not be economy to have
an American feet all ready to meet
the invaders and blow them out of
the water?
This feet would long ago have
been a reality were it not for the
economy cranks who croak of finan-
cial disaster, and fight everything
that hints at an appropriation OF
public money for public use.
The money belongs, not to the
high stomached officials, but to the
tax payers, and ninety per cent. OF
the taxpayers of America want a
navy that will cost from twenty to
fifty million dollars. Startling as
it may seem, it is never the less a
fact, that the most fragrant extrava-
gance of public money is in the long
run, of more direct benefit to the
people than the scrimping econom-
ic system. New York never saw
better times than when Boss Tweed
was cutting the public treasury and
scattering the money among the
crowd.
The poor were given jobs on the
public works. and the men, who I'M
der the economic regime had been
tramping the streets, took home
their wages every Saturday night to
cheer the wife and little ones. The
money that Tweed took from the
treasury went right back to the
people where it came from. We do
not endorse this method of distrib-
uting money, but assert that it
gave the masses a more direct bene-
ft than they have ever received
from the parsimonioas Democratic
Administration.

The Mormon Church Receivership.

SALT LAKE. Oct. 1S-Argument was begun
to-day in the Mormon Church cases on a motion
to appoint a receiver. A statement of facts was
submitted and agreed upon by the opposing
counsel, showing that John TAYLOR, last Feb
ruary. conveyed to the different presidencies
personal property OF the church. located
in the several counties. valued at $40, 1913. $40;
that the church has remaining only the Temple
block in this city, valued $3.50. coo; the Tithing
block $50. 900, and the Amelia Palaces $50, 900,
but the receiver appointed should not be limited
in his search for property to the items specified
herein. 1t is claimed by the church that the
Mormon church corporation was dissolved, and at
the April conference. in 1857, appointed three
trustees-W. b. Preston presiding bishop. with
Counseors Robt. T. Benton and John r.
Winder. to take charge of such property the
church was not allowed to hold. The arguments

SOCIETY sNARLs IN ST PAUL.
No Truth in the Stories that Senator Davis
and Wife Were Snubbed

and Wife Were Snubbed.
st. Paul Special.
For week before the presidential party
rived in this city correspondents of outside
papers flooded their journals with all sorts OF
sensational gossip about the ndignities which
were put upon Senator Cushman K Davis and
his wife, most of them lies manufactured out OF
whole cloth The main point that a num-
Der of society ladies here refused to be associ-
ated with Mrs Davis in assisting at Mrs. Cieve-
lands reception because Mrs. Davis was seam
stress before she married. The silence OF the
local press regarding this stupid yarn is re-
ferred TO by the Eastern journals.
By dilligent and careful inquiry of the COM
mittee arrangements and all others likely to
know anything about it. it IS learned that there
Is absolutely no foundation whatever for the pre-
tended slight to Mr.. Davis his wife. They
were specially invited to serve the reception
mmittee, end, though many who were invited
did not accept, those who did included many OF
ladies Of St Paul The story that they stayed
away because Mrs. Davis was expected there is
thus refuted by this simple fact.
Then another story vas diligently circulated
to the OBJECT that there was a private reception
from which all but select circle of society peo-
pie were excluded. This yarn was absolutely
ception of any kind whatever. There
other reception than that attended by the re-
ception committee.
The only other.circumstances which seemed to
give some color to the story that a slight had
been put upon Senator Davis was the fact that
In the original assignment of places in the Presi
uent cdrrlhe6 as agreed upon Dy the committee
on arrangements. Senator Davis was not as
signed to the place of honor the seat beside the
President. But it was intended that the Presi-
dent and his wife should ride in separate car
riages. the former accompanied by the Mayor,
Governor ana Senator Davis, and the latter by
three young ladies', but it occurred to the COM
mittee that under this arrangement the fifty or
sixty thousand strangers on the street who were
especially anxious to see Mrs. Cleveland. might
not be able to distinguish her from the other
pretty women who were to have been seated in
the carriage. So it finally deter
mined that Mrs. Cleveland should ride in the
riage with her husband and she to
ccpy the seat by the Presidents side. originally
assigned to Governor Davis, he was invited to
take seat beside General Villas the next high
est place of honor after the Presidents car
riage
These the simple facts of the case Mrs.
Davis was never a seamstress, nor a mlliner,
and IL would not harm her in the estimation of
anyone in ST. Paul. who belongs to what is
called good society, if she had been. She
young lady of good standing, though her
parents were poor. and is accom- plshed in
many ways as she is handsome and amiable.

being so enthusiastic as to consider a Democratic
majority OF $4,000 next year in State which
gave a Republican majority of 45, 900 in 1884 as
only reasonable expectation.
The first opportunity offered to test these in
fated expectations at the polls was given at the
Indianapolis election last Tuesday. Mr.. Ceye-
land had stopped in that city only few days
before the canvas closed, and every effort was
made tc give his visit much political signif-
icance possible. He had shown his sympathy
with the disreputable elemen in Indiana politics
by selecting from it his appointments to federal
positions. Thieves and rascals have been hon

until even the Democracy itself cried out
against the outrage. and the correspondent of a
